TAKE CARE

To be part of the world we believe that we must Take Care of it. Like a step in new-fallen snow, everything we do leaves a mark on the world. Our choice, and our responsibility, is to step lightly.

At Haglöfs, we acknowledge that the garment industry has historically not been the most environmentally friendly, and so we have taken strides towards reducing our impact. By joining bluesign® and the Fair Wear Foundation, setting and meeting stringent real-world goals of recycling and toxicity reduction, as well as fair labor practices, we have taken important steps towards a more sustainable business, and more importantly, a more sustainable future.

Take Care is our watchword and our symbol. It’s now at the heart of all we do, integral to our entire process. From increasing the percentage of recycled materials to developing a brand-new fluorocarbon-free Durable Water Resistance treatment, we are continually improving our entire product line, not just a select few products.

We’re not perfect, and there is much work yet to be done. But we have made great strides, met difficult goals, and set the next set of bars even higher. We believe that sustainability is essential, and we look at every part of our business for opportunities to improve. On our journey into the future, we wish to leave behind nothing but footprints.
